\section{Class \Iclass{vector}} % (fold)
\label{sec:class_vector}

In fact, they are more a class of oriented segments than vectors in the strict mathematical sense.

A vector is defined by giving two points (i.e. two affixes). 
|V.AB = vector : new (z.A,z.B)| creates the vector $\overrightarrow(AB)$, i.e. the oriented segment with origin $A$ representing a vector. A few rudimentary operations are defined, such as sum, subtraction and multiplication by a scalar.

The sum is defined as follows:

Let V.AB + V.CD result in a vector V.AE defined as follows

If $\overrightarrow{CD} = \overrightarrow{BE} $ then $\overrightarrow{AB} + \overrightarrow{CD} = \overrightarrow{AB} + \overrightarrow{BE} =\overrightarrow(AE)$

\begin{mybox}
   Creation |V.AB = vector: new (z.A,z.B)|
\end{mybox}

\begin{Verbatim}
z.A = ...
z.B = ...
z.C = ...
z.D = ...
V.AB = vector : new (z.A,z.B)
V.CD = vector : new (z.C,z.D)
V.AE = V.AB + V.CD  -- possible V.AB : add (V.CD)
z.E  = V.AE.head -- we recover the final point (head)
\end{Verbatim}
